inspect certain Product/Supplier characteristics and processes, identified by Purchaser
in writing, and where necessary develop a corrective action plan, all at Supplier’s
expenses; or (b) initiate a stop of the Products shipment, being understood and agreed

8
May, 2016
that any deficiencies in Products must be corrected by Supplier, at its expenses, prior
to any subsequent product shipments.
For a seek of clarity, CSL 1, 2 or 3 are steps of the process aimed to support Supplier
in the solution of the quality problems that caused a non-conforming supply. Those
three Levels are differentiated according to the gravity and frequency of the non-
conformities detected in the supply and are described in Purchaser’s procedures part
of the Operating Regulation.
In the most serious cases of supply non-conformities, Purchaser shall always have the
right to put Supplier in the New Business Hold (NBH) status, avoiding its

measure.

obligation hereunder shall in no way affect its right to require such performance at any
time thereafter. In addition, no waiver by either Party of the breach of any provision

any breach of any other provisions.

specific/extraordinary requirements of the material to be delivered;
• Returnable packaging will be designed to be easily cleaned, emptied and
drained;

and Operating Regulations.
Purchaser has handed over to I-FAST Container Logistics S.p.A. the management and
